May God comfort you in this time of sorrow. I have scheduled the Gregorian Masses to be said for my Godmother Patty. Eternal rest grant unto her and may the perpetual light shine upon her.
Gregorian Masses are a series of 30 Masses offered on consecutive days.
The custom of offering a set of Gregorian Masses dates back to Pope St. Gregory the Great (died 604) who wrote in the DIALOGUES (4:55; PL 77: 416-421) about a monk who obtained release from Purgatory after thirty Masses were offered on his behalf. The Church has declared the confidence of the faithful in the efficacy of Gregorian Masses to be pious and reasonable.
God bless,
Pat
